Coldwater: Stay-cation Guide

Small Town Stay-cation Guide

Coldwater

Branch County, also known as Coldwater Country, is located in southern Michigan, half-way between Chicago and Detroit along the Old Sauk Trail/the U.S. 12 Heritage Route. I-69 runs north and south in the middle of the county, making Branch County easily accessible from either I-94 to the north or the 80/90 Toll Road to the south.

Whether you are looking for spa treatment, a fishing get-away, family vacations or de-stressing after a long work week, Coldwater Country is the place to be. Visit our Capri Drive-In movie, the steam engine train rides, ride the go karts or explore the virtual reality lounges or laser tag & maze, catch a live performance at the Tibbits Opera House or visit the Allen Antique Malls for that one-of-a-kind gift.
